Sr. members of the British royal family are expected to meet Monday to discuss the future roles of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle after the couple announced their intention to 'step back' as sr. members of the royal family, a palace source tells NBCNews.
Meghan, who is now in Canada, might call into the meeting. And other people whom"the Royals want in the room" might also attend, the source said.
Plans for the meeting come after a series of other consultations over the last few days. Monday's meeting is to decide next steps for changes to Harry and Meghan's roles. "There is a range of possibilities the family will review, taking into account the thinking of the Sussexes," the source said, adding that there is"genuine agreement and understanding that any decisions will take time to be implemented."A request for the issue to be resolved"at pace" is still the queen's wish, the source said.
